NAC424.205. Violations: Revocation or suspension of license.

     1. The authority to operate a foster home is dependent upon continued compliance with the licensing requirements of the licensing authority.

     2. A license to operate a foster home may be revoked by the licensing authority whenever a foster home fails to meet the requirements for a license. A licensing authority representative shall send a written statement to the foster family giving the reasons for revocation of the license and notification of the procedure for hearing grievances relating to the revocation as set forth in NRS 424.045 and NAC 424.210. A revocation is effective 30 days after the date the notice is sent.

     3. In cases of noncompliance with one or more licensing requirements which are believed to be hazardous to children or which involve a health or safety issue, the licensing authority may suspend a license and require the foster home to cease operation immediately. The suspension of a license pursuant to this subsection is not subject to the procedures set forth in NAC 424.210, but a licensee may submit a request for a review of the suspension by the Administrator. Pursuant to NRS 424.045, the Administrator or the designee of the Administrator shall review the suspension within 30 days after the receipt of the request.

     4. When a license to operate a foster home is suspended or revoked, the foster children in the foster home must be removed from the foster home by the agency that placed the child in the foster home within the period determined by the licensing authority.
